Sorry about that.  I meant to reply but got distracted.

Run with die_on_bad_params on your test server and turn it off in
production.

Hmmmm, maybe.  I've been meaning to do some work on the overall state
of error messages in HTML::Template, possibly offering optional
Exception::Class support.  If I did that I think it would be easy to
also offer the ability to turn non-critical errors into warnings.  But
a smaller change addressing just this problem might not be too bad...
